Canadians boycott U.S.
June 15, 2018 at 11:22 am
Quote:Canadians have taken to practicing pocketbook diplomacy in defense of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is caught in a trade war of words with President Trump, by boycotting American goods and canceling vacations to the United States, according to a report.

Shoppers are shunning Kentucky bourbon, California wine and Florida oranges, and avoiding American companies like Starbucks, Walmart and McDonald’s, Canadian network CTV News reported on Wednesday.

On Twitter, hashtags like #BuyCanadian, #BoycottUSProducts and #BoycottUSA are spreading as outrage over Trump’s trade tariffs grows.

Why are you boycotting California wine?

A substantial portion of your hope for seeing trump turned into fertilizer rests with California?

Personally I think California wine should be used to put out fires. 

But we deserve this.

(checks wine in fridge) British Columbia VQA; I'm good. This year's vacation is in Calgary, and there are lots of independent coffee shops to choose from in town.

I'm already actively avoiding Valdemart, the Store That Must Not be Named. Avoiding Home Depot will be a pain, though, because I have stuff to build.

Don't underestimate Canada.  They love hockey, yet they've stuck with boycotting the Stanley Cup for 25 years.
